When Usain Bolt set the 100m record for men’s at the Summer Game in Beijing, China in August 2008, many did not anticipate he would do the same in the 200m sending Michael Johnson’s record to the archives.

Now after Berlin, at the World Athletics Championships last month, Bolt has done it again resetting both the 100m and 200m records in convincing fashion and also convincing time.

The point here is Bolt is not only the fastest man on earth, he is still undefeated compared to Michael Phelps who has already lost this year.

The jovial Jamaican sprinter is one person who is not receiving the accolades well deserved of an athlete who is leading a revolution in track, and he deserves to.

At only 23 years old, he obviously has one or two more Olympics, a couple more World Championships and numerous IAAF grand prix and track meets left in him, but at the moment, no athlete in any sport is as great and dominant as Bolt is in track.

Bolt who was adored in Germany and the rest of the world is not getting that same love with most of the media in America as it does not necessarily focus on this Jamaican whom I was privileged to meet with one-on-one in September 2008 right after the Beijing Games.

I remember when Bolt walked into an event without any bodyguards, no entourage no bling to create any attention or attraction. He stood right outside of VIP at this Red Bull location in midtown Manhattan in New York, nobody knew who he was.

Apparently he had just finished taping for David Letterman’s Show that day and was still in the same gear he had on.

While the fastest man on earth stood waiting, two other reporters argued with themselves if he was a college basketball player due to his height or [because he is black] an American who probably didn’t make it into the NBA.

While watching these two bicker over the identity of the world’s fastest man, I turned and said, “that’s Usain Bolt.”

Really? They said. What were they expecting a short stout runner like Ato Boldin or Maurice Greene?

Bolt is not your quintessential sprint runner. He not only dominates the field in convincing fashion with his race time, he does so too with his imposing 6ft 5 frame, which also allows him to take bigger and longer strides than anyone else around him.

Is he better than Phelps? That is debatable, but at least he has not been photographed with a bong in the hand and still retain his endorsements like Phelps has. He also has not lost to anyone in any track event individual or team events since he busted on the scene with a unique last name.

Everyone might be expecting this young Jamaican to fail even with all the comments surrounding marijuana, but Bolt who acts like a young kid, he still is only 23, is having fun dominating and take in the fact that he might end up as a legend in this sport.

Before breaking world records at the World Championships, many had asked if Bolt could survive in the NFL. The question is why would he want to play in the NFL?

For him it makes no logical reason other than his height and speed, but also since most of the American media or public are not infatuated by track unless once every four years, Bolt really sticking with track will always attract the attention when he does something as opposed to him playing in NFL where he would be scrutinized like athletes who play a position they would expect him to lineup as which is the wide receivers.

While the receivers can only dream of clocking 19.19 seconds in 200 meters or 9.58 seconds in the 100 meters dash, fans will only continue to dream of a Bolt appearance in the NFL, plus he prefers soccer and cricket since those sports were influential to his career, plus soccer involves constant movement.

Most track athletes understand that Bolt’s involvement in this sport makes him a blessing as American sprinter Shawn Crawford stated last month.

“He's a gift to this earth, he's a blessing to the track game. . . . I'm just waiting for the lights to flash 'game over' 'cause I felt like I was in a video game.”

Crawford gets it, we just hope everyone else in the world does soon before it is too late.
